Did Michelle Just Get Deleted From History Books… Here’s Her Nasty Surprise

A new study published by the Obesity medical journal revealed that obesity among children remains as big of a problem now as it did prior to First Lady Michelle Obama’s launch of her “Let’s Move!” initiative — meaning that her signature program failed and thus has no place in the history books.

According the The Daily Caller, approximately 27.5 percent of all children between 2 and 19 years of age were considered overweight in 1999-2000. By 2011-2012, that rate had skyrocketed to 31.8 percent, and by 2013-2014, the rate was hovering around 33.2 percent.

Likewise, the ratio of obese children rose from 14.6 percent in the late 90s to 17.2 percent in 2011-2012. From there it remained pretty much the same.

The lead scientist behind the study, Duke University health services researcher Asheley Skinner, added that Michelle’s initiative to lower obesity rates among children clearly was not working.

“If we assume that our goal out of policy is to reduce the prevalence, that’s a goal we’re not meeting,” she said.

If anything, Michelle’s program just made kids more hungry with its stringent calorie restrictions, and science (as opposed to liberal “feel good” thinking) has shown that going hungry reduces one’s metabolism and thus leads to even more obesity.

But she does not care. In fact, after the Centers for Disease Control conducted a study showing that obesity rates dropped among very young children, Michelle reportedly pressured the CDC into including a quote from her in its report, presumably to make it look as if her program had caused the decline.

Incidentally, the new report by Obesity journal showed that the obesity rate among young kids between 2 and 5 years of age is actually back on the rise again.

Does this new data prove that Michelle Obama’s program is making kids fat? Absolutely not. It does suggest, however, that her program — like virtually every federal government program — is a failure and thus has no place in our history books.
